(60,190 posts)1.) The fact that there is a super ritzy area (Rodeo Drive) that is well-known almost everywhere.
2.) The fact that L.A. is better known for oddball characters--Dallas doesn't have a Hollywood or a Beverly Hills.
3.) The fact that the legend of Zorro was about Spanish California (too long to explain--you'll see when you get to the story).
4.) The fact that a local university is well-known for its film school--not so for any college local to me.
5.) The fact that the Las Vegas mafia is more likely to show up in L.A. than in Dallas (see comment #3).
6.) The ridiculous traffic situation in L.A. is more famous than Dallas traffic (again, see #3).
7.) The fact that a genius Guatemalan woman is more likely to have an ex from Hong Kong in L.A. than in Dallas
If THAT isn't enough to get you wondering WTF the book is about, I give up
